This is when hockey gets really exciting. When the games really mean something. My old coaches would kill me for saying that, because "every game means something", but you can't disagree. I used to find myself getting caught up in the excitement of close games, but this year more than ever, I've found myself in the simple, boring routine of going to the game, watching, cheering for a goal, shrugging off a loss, and asking "What's for dinner?" before we even leave the rink. Not sure if it has something to do with the language barrier, or if I'm just finally being desensitized to the emotions of the game after 24 years. But today... I'm excited. And nervous, too. I love when fate lies in the hands of one single game. That's when it's really interesting to me. I know the outcome of this game won't have a huge impact on our life, no matter what it is... but hey, who doesn't like to win? :)
Better go take my pregame nap, tonight I may need all of my energy tonight.... ;)
Go Jokers!
Good luck to him and their team!!!! :) hoping for a win!
ReplyDeleteOur team made it into semifinals on Tuesday and now we have to wait until all the quaterfinals are done before we know who are we gonna play next. Thats also kinda exciting, I am always nervous when something like this happens.
